Hello Raeturbo I know how you feel I had a fail on my mot and I need some welding done and my handbreak has gone haywire.I will see what the quote for repairs is and then decide what to do.It is a shame that the omegas are heading for the scrap yard.

Even if you have to replace all the consumable H/B parts(shoes, cable, discs, pads etc) that's going to cost less than just the labour to change a gearbox. And these gearboxes are now at the point where only a full rebuild is likely to be cost effective.

Clean the selector switch, If your going to change fluid, iirc including dropping sumps, blowing out cooler, and cleaning filters,(yes you can clean them,) it takes 8L, of fluid, I used  Shell spirax,(formally Donax) it's a HD dex3/4 transmission fluid for Commercial/Tractors.

Failing that there's a thrust washer that breaks, there is a guide on replacement.
